Based on a true story, and again taking on the role of the bad guy, Washington plays drug kingpin of the 70s Frank Lucas, who is being pursued by detective Richie Roberts, played by Russell Crowe.

Great actor, I really didn't recognize Denzel until the titans, wheres the one when he holds up in a hospital, trying to force a doctor to perform a miracle to save his son?

thought the movie could have been better being Denzel is the man. just felt like the movie was lacking a little more substance

Ricochet was the Denzel Washington movie that established him as a sex-symbol. My girlfriends & I used to have Denzel parties, where we'd watch that movie & scream every time he came on screen... Oh my we loved us some Denzel & Ricochet was THE Denzel movie!

You forgot two of my favorite Denzel Washington movies: 1. Deja Vu - I've written extensively on the plot of this sci-fi movie. My main thesis is that what you see up to his entering the time machine was what happened prior to his FIRST trip back. What you see after is probably (we've been debating how many times he went back in time) his FIFTH trip back. trippy movie! 2. Much Ado About Nothing - One of Kenneth Branagh's great William Shakespeare adaptations for the screen. Denzel was terrific as Don Pedro despite having Keanu Reeves as a brother! ;-)

You missed the controversial health care film "John Q"! He was amazing as a father forced to extreme measures to get a life saving operation for his son. A timely film and a wonderful performance.

What about " A Soldier's Story " - a very good movie with an almost all- black cast during pre-war world 2.? grichardso

Absolutely correct. This list is incomplete without this outstanding film. His role is critical in the ensemble cast and is as important as Glory.

Love Denzel ....here r a few u didn't include: Coriolanus, Carbon Copy, A Solider's story, For Queen & Country plus many others. I'm a big fan. He's a very talented actor.

1.Mississippi Masala 2.Out of Time--maybe not his best, but it was highly entertaining! 3.The Preacher's Wife-one of the remakes that wasn't a disgrace to its original.
